Introduction

The sanitary EPDM+PTFE butterfly valve seat is an essential component in fluid control systems, integrating the properties of Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to provide enhanced durability, flexibility, and chemical resistance. Such valve seats are crucial in environments where hygienic conditions are paramount.

Technical Overview of EPDM+PTFE Butterfly Valve Seat

The synergy of EPDM and PTFE materials results in a valve seat that can withstand a broad range of temperatures and pressures, from -40°C to 150°C and up to 16 bar, respectively. The EPDM component provides excellent elasticity and thermal resistance, while PTFE offers superior chemical resistance and low friction properties.

Advantages of EPDM+PTFE Valve Seats

• Chemical Resistance: PTFE’s non-reactivity to most chemicals ensures longevity and reliability in corrosive environments.
• Temperature Resilience: Functionality across extreme temperature ranges (-40°C to 150°C) makes these valve seats versatile.
• Hygienic Properties: The non-stick surface of PTFE prevents material build-up, maintaining sanitary conditions.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Combining EPDM and PTFE offers an economical solution without compromising on quality or performance.

Applications in Industry

Sanitary EPDM+PTFE butterfly valve seats are widely used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. They are particularly suited for applications requiring high levels of cleanliness and sterilization, such as dairy production lines and pharmaceutical fluid processing units.
